"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Since you already are in one, your approach to this is really just palliative--meaning you can only treat it symptomatically. It will eventually crumble. Sorry man, I wish you the best, but LDRs have a shelf life.
I know people who have done it successfully, but they all had a plan--the distance was temporary. And they stayed in daily contact, otherwise you're just living separate lives.

I'm a highly positive man and believe in infinite possibilities. But when it comes to LDRs, it's just the way it is.
